You Owe Me, My Love

You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 57

After Gu Mingchen finished, he pulled Bai Rong in his arms and held her tightly.

The smell of intimacy lingered in the air and crept into her nose.

Bai Rong did not dare to move.

As Gu Mingchen’s breaths landed on her neck, she felt an itch. It was as though she could also feel the itch in her fragile heart, that was aching to be scratched.

Bai Rong waited a while more before she cleared her throat and asked again, “You’re done right?”

“Yup.” Gu Mingchen said simply. His voice was deep, and sounded sexy. It was especially so in the quiet night that her mind could have started to fantasize.

“Aren’t you going to take a shower?” Bai Rong reminded him.

She felt very warm and sticky in his arms.

“I don’t feel like it. I don’t need a cold shower anymore. Let’s sleep. It’s already very late.” Gu Mingchen said gently.

Errr…

But he had just…

Bai Rong felt too embarrassed to continue talking about it. She closed her eyes.

She thought that she wouldn’t be able to sleep with a man lying next to her.

But as Bai Rong was too exhausted, she fell asleep shortly, without even eating the instant noodles she had cooked.

Bai Rong slept soundly through the night. When she woke up, it was already morning.

When she looked towards her side, Gu Mingchen was not there.

“Gu Mingchen.” Bai Rong called out, but there was no response.

She saw the car key still lying on the table and deduced that Gu Mingchen had not yet left the guest house.

But it’s still so early, where could he have gone?

Bai Rong walked into the bathroom.

Gu Mingchen had already brushed his teeth. His toothbrush was in the mug.

He had also squeezed some toothpaste on top of her toothbrush and placed it on the mug.

Bai Rong felt a warm fuzzy feeling inside.

Although Gu Mingchen looked cold, he could be quite attentive to details sometimes.

Bai Rong finished brushing her teeth and walked out of the guest house, when she saw Gu Mingchen walking towards her with a plastic bag in his hands.

He stopped in front of her. The morning sun illuminated his face and Bai Rong thought that Gu Mingchen would shine more brightly than the sun.

Her heart skipped a few beats.

“I got us breakfast. We’ll leave after we finish eating.” Gu Mingchen said in his deep voice, as he walked ahead of Bai Rong.

“OK. Did you wake up very early?” Bai Rong asked, as she followed behind him.

“If I don’t wake up, it would have woken up.” Gu Mingchen said, lowering his voice.

“It? Who’s it?” Bai Rong was confused.

Gu Mingchen took a meaningful glance at her.

Bai Rong knew at once what he was referring to.

A blush of embarrassment spread across her cheeks as she looked towards the ground.

Gu Mingchen held her hand and said impatiently, “Just hurry up and finalize your divorce.”

Bai Rong pulled out her hand and opened the room door without saying anything.

Gu Mingchen had already thrown away the two bowls of instant noodles from last night, and laid out the breakfast he bought on the table.

There were two boxes of xiaolongbao, two sticks of youtiao, two cups of soy milk, and two eggs. It was quite a lot of food.

Bai Rong ate quietly while Gu Mingchen sized her up. “Did I scare you yesterday?” He asked.

Bai Rong did not dare to answer hastily.

If she had said yes, Gu Mingchen definitely would not have liked it.

If she had said no, he might take it as an invitation to continue doing what he did.

“Will we be going back this afternoon?” Bai Rong ignored his question.

“That’s the plan, if everything goes smoothly.” Gu Mingchen replied.

“I have work tomorrow.” Bai Rong reminded him.

“Have you filled up the application form to work at the military base?”

“What?” Bai Rong paused for a while, before she said again, “No one gave me any form.”

“I will get them to pass you a form. You should let the hospital know too.” Gu Mingchen said domineeringly.

Bai Rong plopped her head on the table and continued drinking her soy milk from the straw, while she gazed at Gu Mingchen with her beautiful eyes.

The truth was that she did not want to work at the military base.

The truth was that she did not want to marry him either.

But why did it seem as though Bai Rong had no say in any of those matters?

She had no room for rejection.

Why exactly was that so? What went wrong?

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Gu Mingchen asked.

“Can I don’t work at the military base?” Bai Rong asked.

“No.” Gu Mingchen said without hesitation.

“What if I insist on not going?” Bai Rong tested waters.

“What do you think?” Gu Mingchen threw the question back to her. A sharp glint appeared in his eyes.

Bai Rong let out a deep sigh.

Gu Mingchen was the reason why she could keep her current job.

As long as he wished to, she could lose her job anytime. Besides, working at the military base was considered a promotion for her. She would be putting on airs if she rejected his offer.

Bai Rong lowered her head and continued eating xiaolongbao.

Gu Mingchen saw the look of disappointment and helplessness in her face. “Do you really not want to work at the military base? If you are there, it would be easier for me to take care of you. Also, no one would dare to take advantage of you at the military base. I am always very busy at work and it would be hard for me to go and see you. If we work at the same place, we will be able to see each other every day.” He said.

Bai Rong was very moved by what Gu Mingchen just said.

Although she was married to Su Xuyan for three years, they hardly saw each other. It was not that they were too busy, but Su Xuyan just did not want to see her.

That marriage had fully taken a toll on Bai Rong, both mentally and emotionally.

Gu Mingchen was like a drug.

It was easy to get addicted to him. And Bai Rong knew that it would not be a habit that was easy to kick.

However, she realized she was falling deeper and deeper for him, before her rational mind could make sense of the situation.

Bai Rong decided that she should stop resisting and give it a try.

She leaned forward and planted a quick kiss on Gu Mingchen’s lips, and said, “I’ll apply.”

The brief interaction of their lips was not enough to satisfy Gu Mingchen at all.

That was the first time Bai Rong initiated, signifying her willingness to finally give in, and it was a meaningful moment for Gu Mingchen.

Feeling triumphant, he held the back of her neck and returned the kiss.

Gu Mingchen’s tongue searched Bai Rong’s mouth and found her tongue. He sucked it gently before wrapping his tongue around hers.

Bai Rong closed her eyes as his kiss deepened.

It was getting so passionate that Gu Mingchen could feel his abdomen tighten again.

He let go of Bai Rong as he could not imagine what would happen if he carried on.

Her lips were already swollen from his kisses and were in a beautiful shade of red.

Gu Mingchen cleared his throat and changed the topic, “Eat more. You’re too skinny. I’m going to take a shower.”

“OK.” Feeling shy, she lowered her gaze. As she did that, she saw the bulge in his pants. She got even more embarrassed and turned to face the other direction.

Bai Rong had already finished her breakfast when Gu Mingchen got out of the shower. “I’ll wait for you outside.” She said to him.

“OK.” He replied. Bai Rong couldn’t believe that he was so agreeable.

“If you don’t like this car, I will get you a different one.” Gu Mingchen declared.

“I don’t think I will need a car. My place is not very far away from the hospital.” Bai Rong blurted out.

Gu Mingchen glanced at her. There was a hidden gleam and trace of anger in his deep eyes. “Are you still staying at Su Xuyan’s house?”

“Not anymore. I am staying with Yan now. She drives, so I get a lift from her every morning.” Bai Rong clarified.

“How many rooms are there in her apartment?” Gu Mingchen asked thoughtfully.

“Two, so we get one room each. It’s spacious enough for two.” Bai Rong replied.

“Is your room soundproof?” Gu Mingchen continued asking.

Bai Rong was speechless.

He can’t be thinking of doing that at Yan’s house right? Her thoughts went wild.

“No.” Bai Rong replied immediately to dash his hopes.

“It’s already not very nice for you to impose on her. We shouldn’t continue to inconvenience her. I will buy an apartment near the hospital so that you can move in first. I will also install soundproof walls in the house so that we won’t disturb the neighbors. But I still think it’s better for you to have a car. It’s not just for driving to work. Having a car would bring more convenience to your life in general.” Gu Mingchen said.
